A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Miranda Keech
Librarian – Adult Services
Hope everyone is looking forward to Christmas; it's coming up really fast! Here are a few Christmasthemed Librarians’ Choices…
How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr Seuss Hercule Poirot’s Christmas by Agatha Christie Slinky Malinki’s Christmas Crackers by Lynley Dodd Mog’s Christmas by Judith Kerr
• • • •
It’s a Wonderful Life Home Alone 1 & 2 Love Actually Dr Seuss’ How the Grinch stole Christmas
I’m dreaming of a Chocolate Christmas by Marcel Desaulniers
• The Grinch
Owl be home for Christmas by Donna Andrews.
The absolute best Christmas album in the world… ever! (one of my personal favourites)
The latest in the Meg Langslow mysteries series. “It’s a few days before Christmas, and Meg's grandfather is hosting a conference..
...on owls at the Caerphilly Inn. A snow storm traps everyone in the hotel, and one of the ornithologists is murdered. Even if the roads are cleared in time, Chief Burke doesn't want the suspects to scatter before he identifies the killer, so there's a chance that none of them will make it home for Christmas . . . at least not unless Meg comes to the rescue.” Merry Christmas, everyone!
